Simple is good. I am drawn to vertical designs, perhaps a nod to Moses' rod lifted over the Red Sea at the Exodus-- representing the gospel message of deliverance and victory. (The name comes from Exodus 15:1-2, part of the song that the people sang in worship when they saw their captors defeated.) 

The double S in my own mock up is intentional, but not a must. 

The second part of the name, "Community Music," should be a minor part of the design I think.

NEW: I've just had this thought-- one of my great passions in music and education is traditional hymns. I;d love to see someone incorporate a hymnal into their design--perhaps the whole logo contained in a rectangle and made to look like a hymnal itself. Not a fancy high church one, but a beat up folksy looking hymnal. A bit mid-century, a bit hipster. I feel silly for just now thinking of this!

Cikiyunn is fantastic. The first logo she submitted grabbed my attention--it was nothing like what I&#039;d imagined, yet it was the perfect concept. She worked with me through a number of changes, and I am very happy with the result. Thank you, cikiyunn! It&#039;s great!
